Your regular hosts are joined this week by marketing-savvy MSP Ed Correia, of Sagacent Technologies, marketing-savvy consultant (and ID Agent founder) Kevin Lancaster, of The Venture Mentor, and marketing expert (and former Kaseya exec) Matt Solomon, of Channel Halo. So you know you’re going to get some rock-solid marketing advice.
